Over 700 stands sells a wide range of collectibles 'for the individual, home and garden including ceramics, jewellery, art, furniture, vintage and retro clothing and accessories.' I went to yesterday's fair (14 May) and found the variety impressive but a considerable number of antiques to be overpriced. However, it should be noted that most items appeared to be reasonably priced and many vendors seemed eager to haggle. Furthermore, plenty of visitors were pleased with their purchases, and a few suggested to me that, at the end of the day, prices dropped substantially.
